Arts, National Identities and Democracy
Mintirho ya Vulavula: Arts, National Identities and Democracy
examines the role of arts and culture in development, and specifically
its value in consolidating our nascent democracy and in facilitating the
transformation of South African society.
Contributors to this
edited volume interrogate the role of arts, culture and heritage from a
transdisciplinary perspective, enriched by the cross-generational
perspectives offered by young and older artists, cultural practitioners,
activists and scholars. Authors also offer some policy recommendations
on how the contribution of arts and culture to social cohesion and
nation-building can be enhanced.
